How to Organize Your Homeschool Space (Simple Systems That Actually Work)
Save this Pin for later! Homeschool organization can be SO much fun . It doesn’t have to be expensive, and it can be totally cute without a large budget. We’ve homeschooled for over 7 years and we don't have a designated homeschool room. I love the adorable homeschool rooms on Pinterest. I look at them every year. But in the end, we always end up back at the dining room table. One year we did try homeschooling upstairs in our family room, and we stuck with it for a while, but

Where Are We Headed?
We're celebrating 5 years of Lamp & Light! God is so faithful. Here's some reflection on where we've been and where we're headed. I’ve learned to say Lord willing. It was a hard lesson for me to learn. Really hard, actually. It’s a lesson I’ve learned since having kids. Sometimes it’s been as simple as missing out on meeting up with friends, and sometimes it’s been pretty life-altering. Four kids and a few moves in a couple short years (or were they long? 😅) brought me a new
From Farm to Table Unit Study
We’re getting ready to embark on our first unit study of the school year- From Farm to Table! In preparation for this study we visited a local U-Pick farm, and we’ve been harvesting from our own garden. Here in Alaska we’ve been blessed with an extended season this year. Often we’ve had our first frost by now. Because we live in a remote state much of our food travels a long distance to reach us- often spending a week on a truck or much longer on a barge. Let’s just say much

To the Family Questioning Halloween
Follow your convictions towards righteousness. It’s ok to be counter-cultural. The goal of a Believer and Disciple of Jesus has never been to succumb to the ideals and imagery of the world. Rather, we are called to be different and shine as lights among a wicked generation. It’s ok if being different ruffles the feathers of people around you. Jesus did it, and so should we! We don’t have to portray Christ and living for Christ from a position of rivalry. We should do this
Stewarding Time
How do we steward our time well? What does it actually mean to steward time? We have choices in our life every day. Small choices lead to big realities. Habits we practice each day develop a place our life goes. To change our reality we have to change what we do. As a Christian, my time is not my own. I am not stewarding my resources, but the Lord's. God determines the number of days we have and I believe we will answer for how we use them. If you entrust something of value t
Bible-Based Homeschooling
For years I googled things like “Bible-Based Homeschooling” and “How to Use the Bible As Your Primary Textbook”. My searches always came up empty. I seemed to cycle back to the same resources I already knew and used. They’re not bad resources, but many of them are expensive and I was looking for more. I had what I like to call Holy Discontentment. I wanted to homeschool in a way that saturated every part of our day with God’s Word! My primary motivation for homeschooling, a
No Homeschool Room? No Problem!
The cute Pinterest homeschool spaces are dreamy! But what if you don’t have a designated space to spare? Don’t worry, neither do I! This will be our fourth year of homeschooling and it’s always at the kitchen table or in the living room. We generally keep one end of the table for eating while the other is used for schooling. I keep our school decor minimal because I still enjoy having our dining room feel like it’s a dining room and not overtaken by homeschool. Our pencil sha
Why Do You Believe What You Believe?
There are two non-negotiables. The Bible is absolutely true, and God is absolutely real. Look around, without a firm foundation chaos...
